1977

The Blaser single shot rifle was modernized: with the new model K 77. This is where the tilting block lock first came into use. This lock, with its parallel fitting surfaces proved ito be extremely strong, reliable and above all, precise. This block construction is still used in today's models K 95, D 99 and S 2. 
The versatility and accuracy made the K 77 one of the most successful single shot rifles in the world.
In the late 80’s the variants K 77 “Ultra light” and K 77 “All-weather” (with nickeled barrels) were introduced. In 1995 the following model K 95 replaced the K 77, although the basic design was only marginally changed.

Around this time, CNC technology was introduced. From the beginning the concept was designed for these machines, which gave the possibility of improving the manufacture of the rifles by achieving tighter tolerances on the parts produced. Blaser is one of the first rifle manufacturers to begin making parts using CNC machines.
